What is paraquat

Paraquat is a chemical herbicide used in the control of a wide variety of weeds (harmful plants) in more than 100 crops, including grains, oils, fruits and vegetables grown in various climates. Weeds can block the sun's rays, compete for water and nutrients, and increase the difficulty of harvesting. The company is a major manufacturer of paraquat, it (as the British Empire chemical industry group's members) in early 1960s developed the active ingredient (AI). Since then, due to paraquat can effectively control weeds and avoid ploughing straw buried links, so it simplifies crop production, which led to many innovations in the field of sustainable farming. This saves time for farmers, as well as soil conservation. Paraquat is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. It has been licensed in nearly 90 countries. As long as the proposed method is used, paraquat is not only effective, but also safe for users, consumers and the environment. The safety and effectiveness of paraquat use will be described below. It also includes a list of references and other publications, as well as a technical summary.
